# Unqualified Access

### What happened?

A parent element was accessed without its id.

### Why is this bad?

This makes the code harder to read and impedes performance.

### Example

     import QtQuick

     Item {
         property int helloWorld
         Item {
             property int unqualifiedAccess: helloWorld + 1 // not ok: Unqualified access here.
         }
     }

You can fix this warning by referring to the parent object by id. If the object currently has no id, you will need to add one first.

     import QtQuick

     Item {
         id: root
         property int helloWorld
         Item {
             property int unqualifiedAccess: root.helloWorld + 1 // ok: this access is qualified now!
         }
     }
